When you're bored with the blue and white appearance of the board then go into your profile setting at the top of the page and select another template. The AcidTechTigers are pretty colourful and the Diddle is more for girls perhaps with soft colours.

Also there's an abstract avatar gallery which can be uses instead of the cartoon characters. Can't remember when that was installed but it is there.

Meanwhile I think all of the smilies have been reinstalled (inc. the fave of ADG) . I am not sure if we also had a naughty "toung" smiley.
